Violet Melancholy

I enjoy depicting relationships between people, with a particular focus on feelings of isolation, loneliness, and melancholy. Currently, this is a wax pastel version. The entire scene is created from my imagination, except for the figure on the left, which is based on a sketch of a model in a studio. The sense of spatial distance between the figures in the painting is palpable, conveying emotional distance and a sense of loneliness. The half-open door I designed is not only for its shapes of color, but also symbolizes that a part of the heart is closed while another part is trying to open. The vibrant colors contrast sharply with feelings of detachment and introspection, blending this piece with the complexity of modern life.
